INTONATION
Definition: The use of pitch or tone in a sentence to convey meaning or emotion. Thus a sentence such as "my mother is at home" (mi madre está en casa) would sound different and have a different meaning as a question ("My mother is at home?" or ¿Mi madre está en casa?) than it would as a statement, even though the words are the same.
Examples in Spanish:
Good morning = Do you speak English?
Buenos días = ¿Habla Ud. inglés?
